2018-2019

Wild night in Tucson!! Well it was hot and wild in Tucson tonight. The night started off over 105 degrees so even getting up on the blocks was kind of hot on the feet.

In only his 2nd ever UltraMarathon Race, Chris Deegan, representing Australia (and UVPCS!) finished second overall this year!  As a Fina race series, this race always attracts some of the Ultra-Distance swimmers in the world, and to come 2nd is quite the achievement!  Chris will come away from the race with 4500 American dollars in prize money (with perhaps a 1000$ bonus if the results show he had the fastest 500m in the race, to be determined), and a lot of pride!  Chris swam with the pack until the eventual winner, Marcel Schouten from the Netherlands, decided to break away from the pack

Arizona Senior Champs Day 2

The night started off with the 200 Medley relay where our girls went in sitting in 5^th place based on their entry time. Leading off with Lily Chen, Laura Rincon, Sydney Meldrum, and Grace MacDonald the team came out of the race in 6^th place.

Next up was the 200 Freestyle where Grace did a great job in the a.m. and swam to within .12 of her best time and placed 5^th after the a.m. heats.

The first night started off great with a bronze medal for Jane Maycock in the 1500 Freestyle. The temperature was in the high 30`s so it was nice to enjoy the heat.

The relay team of Lily Chen, Kali Lancaster, Sydney Meldrum, and Grace MacDonald went into the race seeded 8^th, but finished in 6^th place with some good efforts by the team. The meet continues on through until Sunday.
